A bit off topic but ProCapture is the best I've found. I've spent money on Camera ZOOM FX but it takes 10 years to even load up and interface is bit sucky.

I dirty flashed and was having issues and with back button and when calls came in it would not wake up. So I did a clean install and everything up and running smooth. I read ppl are having issues with camera mine works just fine. And settings in file manager not fc anymore. Thanks Dev for the update running smooth.

How are you guys getting transparent status bar? Mine always turns black. I'm using the Google launcher too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Maddog0057:
Updated from 11/18 to 11/24 this morning and I noticed that the play store doesn't work it complains that there's no connection when I am clearly connected to the internet (chrome works fine) also there's no gallery app.

Other than that its a great ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HeWhoGameZ:
Are you running Android 4.4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] f100cleveland:
Yes, not sure why but my status bar always goes black. Figured maybe it was a cm status bar option possibly doing it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
mine works fine dirty flashed from 21 to 24. did you flash the latest 11/19 gapps after rom?

if so, try clearing caches

Issue: When uploading a video on "Instagram" it gets stuck.. And force closes.. I'm on dalvik..not art... Just in case...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwgizmo:
Profiles?

Any one working with the profiles (settings v personal > profiles)? I set some up, but it seems that they are a manual switch only. I looked around to see if there was a widget for them but was unsuccessful. Any ideas, or is this work in progress? I thought t was going to be like Phone Weaver which I had running on autopilot prior flashing this.

Also:

BT tethering is not working.

Camera is a bit buggy. -Had a few lockup's -I miss the Samsung cam features (any suggestions as a close replacement)?

Lastly:

This an awesome ROM.

I look forward to what this is going to become.

Thanks!

Gallery app for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
i'm pretty sure my camera works...but i did a full wipe and installed a dif gapps package i found on gerrit... i cant find the link again so i am going to upload it to dev host or something... give me a few...

and honestly there is this odd thing where if you didnt compile cm10.2 as root the camera would fc like it is now. si i think that could also be the reason. i'm gonna do a new build tonight anyways. waiting for a build for the htc vivid to finish first

the tethering thing is most likely a ramdisk problem. which is odd because the ramdisk was already updated once for 4.4 with the required changes to the command switches for starting up the wifi service. i'll look into it. but i swear the last time i tested it on the 14th, it worked.

see ya in a few hrs

Is there anyway that my Google acct is doing it when I sign in?

Any way to disable the led lights on the bottom left & right keys? I know where they are I don't need them to light up. I hate that!!! Waste of battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] makomek:
My camera freeze after taking the photo ,I've seen some you does not have that .Anyone spread some light?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] appledroid:
Remove and reinstall your SD card.

It doesn't take much battery, those LED lights barely use any power, especially compared to your device display.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RazoE:
For camera issues, I froze the stock camera and installed the stock kit Kat camera. You can try changing the camera from a system app to a user app, but I wanted to be safe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Slicktune:
Bump?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rawdaddymagraden:
Haha that's was a rumor from a supposed leak of pictures from a kit kat device. If you go back and read the article again you will see that the dialer looks nothing like what it does now so it was a mockup of some sort. Also please wait patiently before bumping a question as different people are on here at different times being we are from different places in the world.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nasty_z:
Not a feature of KitKat. You can use the tinted status bar module along with xposed framework though. It changes the status bar color according to apps. It'll be green in play store, for example.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] perdurablo:
I recommended this Rom to a friend of mine after running it for a while. She had 1 question I can't answer. Does anyone have issues with pics loading in the Facebook app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PseudoChris:
Brilliant ROM, currently on the 11-24 build and haven't come across any issues.

I do have a question though, does anyone know if the "OK Google" voice recognition feature (hands-free activation from the home screen) specific only to the stock launcher? or is there a way to place that feature into other launchers? (Sorry if this question is ignorant or out of place)

Thanks! Keep up the great work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dE.fUsEd:
+1 Good question. I couldn't figure it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] okiru880:
Please can someone else confirm this:-

The dialer is Kit Kat but the dialer 'icon' is ICS/JB? I've flashed the kit kat icon updater zip over the top in recovery - so no problems there... but the rom itself still has the old icon correct??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] perdurablo:
Yes still the old icon here as well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RazoE:
Hold the menu button
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PseudoChris:
:p Yeahh I know, was just curious about the voice command from home screen for hands free use. Not a big deal though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DeezNotes:
Google included the framework to allow apps to have a transparent status bar in kitkat like the Google Launcher. Its up to individual apps to code in the transparent status bar.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Trev420:
I did a clean flash of 11/24 with the gapps on the OP and the ktoomz kernel.

I don't have a gallery app but I can get to pics from the camera app. Also my Skype video calls, recipient can't hear my voice.

Didn't have any of these issues on last nightly with the 11/11 gapps. (Never used Skype before today tho, so that could be an old bug I didn't nnke about. )
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gazzaman2k:
i had the same prob, i fixed it by going back into recovery and reflash the google apps zip and then wipe dalvic and then reboot and hola it works

Using this ROM on my phone and it has never run so smooth. I love the little touches to it, ART runs great with nearly everything I use (not with TiBu obviously). I have no Bluetooth issues, no camera issues, none of that. Thank you for such a great ROM and Android 4.4 experience.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RMAVIS09:
I had that issue with the previous build. When I did a FULL wipe and flashed the latest build it went away. I think it was something I restored with titanium backup.

I have a problem when I download this 4.4, the other ones I can run fine. But when I use this one, once I call someone, the screen goes black and I can't get it to come back on until the other person hangs up. And if they don't answer, I will just leave a really long voicemail of me yelling at my phone to turn the screen back on (which don't work)

forgot to mention that... you need to do a full wipe for the camera icon to show up again in app drawer. its always been like that in android...if the camera doesnt work when you initially install it then dirty flash the icon wont appear in your drawer although its still accessible... I havent tested ART yet. i'll give it a try in a min and let ya know

i'll build the jfltexx build probably in the morning its 3am here

WOW. ART is way faster then dalvik but yes superuser is still broken...i dont know why exacctly i wonder if the app needs to be odex'd anyone got a guide for that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Master™:
flash this then open up "SuperSU" , go to settings & deselect "Respect CM root settings" and you will have root with ART
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nasty_z:
Flashing supersu 1.65 instantly regains root. Temporary solution, I guess.

Check the international thread. It's been discussed there and the last few pages I believe has a fix for this that you may implement.

Edit: [MENTION=1905483]Master G[/MENTION]ave you the fix from the thread.

ART is still a work in progress. Google has been developing for two years and is still considered experimental. Android can not take full advantage of it just yet as ART's core is still being worked on. Just imagine what it will be like when it is fully functional...
